In keeping with the tradition, I think you won't see a facelift until the 4th year ('06-model). The 3rd gens didn't get a exterior refreshment 'til 1999. As for the Runner vs the '05 Taco, I prefer the Runner's front end. I'm just not too crazy about the back ends...but atleast they have a new spoiler in the wing.

The 270hp 4Runner is not starting until November production, so the wait for that is longer then it appears.

The Diesel thing is Cummins and International are looking for more outlets to put their engines in so from what I read in the next few years the Titan and Tudra could possibly have diesel now the debate that always makes me laugh is, would you rather be Cummin or Strokin

Hybrid technology is added power, have you seen the Lexus vehicles soon to be out, suppost to compete with the AMG and M Power cars, 600hp LS with 40mpg Hybrid will haul ass and get better fuel economy when your not on it.
